I wouldn't mind paying the higher prices knowing I'd be directly supporting the band. But almost all of the PledgeMusic projects I've backed have always ended up with damaged (and sometimes not-received) product. Whoever is doing the fulfillment on these projects does an incredibly poor job. So I'll be waiting on getting this until I find a copy in the shop or whenever they tour again.

The campaigns I've supported have been fulfilled by the artists directly.

Dove (transparent blue w/ purple splatter vinyl)

indie exclusive

ltd to 500

This variant is actually the PledgeMusic exclusive, hence why the Bullmoose link now redirects to the yellow/orange splatter version.

For this band in 2018, this album is remarkably good. Not nearly as good as Star, but to my tastes, it feels like it could easily be superior to King (which is a good record I never really connected with on a deeper level).

Dove lacks the ethereal vibe of Star (as did King), as well as uptempo numbers akin to something like "Dusted" or "Slow Dog", but the songwriting, arrangements, production/sound design, and performances are all excellent here. I also have no qualms about how this PledgeMusic variant sounds, and its a relatively quiet master as well.
